In the rules of survival is about a kid named Matt, and his two sisters dealing with the everyday struggle with an unstable single mother. Though one night, Matt goes to a store and meets Murdoch, the man who could save him from his abusive mother. Matt’s hopes get up when Murdoch even starts DATING his mother. But they are shot down when Murdoch breaks up with his mom. And now what? What will Matt’s mother do now? Is there anything Mat can do to bring them back?
I recommend this book to anybody looking to read a quick book, that’s good. The chapters are extremely short and make it seem a lot shorter than it really is. This book’s genre would be Realistic fiction, because this could happen in real life, but it didn’t. This book is very interesting and a definitely recommend this book
